   When both the source and target are physically in the same drive, moving   
   file/folder to the same drive will not move the file's/folder's data. The   
   move operation will simply move the file's/folder's entry within its parent   
   folder's data. By "entry", I meant the file information within its   
   containing folder, such as name, size, attributes, NTFS permissions, etc.   
      
   Keep in mind that, the above will not apply when the source or the target is   
   within a Symbolic Link or Directory Junction which points to a different   
   drive, because their contents are physically in a different drive.
